  1. Wasn't Miller still doing the covers at that time? The insides are a totally different story. Edit: That's a good question. Reading BackIssue #21, Janson states some of the techniques he was using on that issue #190. Here's a quote about pg. 15: "Beautiful design and interesting drawing, but one can't finish this if one can't draw. Klaus kept the design, then added a little drawing, shadows, blacks, and textures. You still can find some kind of Miller's drawing in the final page, but it is clear that the page is a Miller/Janson piece of art. Miller's trust of Janson's work was so real that Klaus was allowed to change whole faces as long as he stayed faithful to Miller's idea." "Janson embellished Miller's great finished layouts with every tool he could find: brushes, pens, markers, zip-a-tone, duo shade paper, and clothes (for inked effects)." "By the end of his run, Frank Miller was doing simple layouts on small sheets of papers, a process he began with issue #185. Klaus Janson was drawing, inking, and coloring the book." Janson goes on to talk about texture and color. Seems like the kind of things one would do when working on two different pages to create one image. Again, nothing concrete but puts the cover(s) in a different perspective.
  2. WOW Sterling! All those books are incredible, especially that #11!
  3. I need to know more about that "Hot Stuf" mag. Looks interesting.
  4. Hit up two different Antique stores yesterday, here's what I turned up: The DHP were both $1 and the other two for just under $50.
  5. Awesome pieces SS and Mike! Who's the artist on the Beta Ray Bill piece?
  6. I would so buy this comic if I ever seen this on the newsstand. Love Lunar.
  7. Nice one. Thats a tough one to find in that grade!
  8. This has got to be a reprint........right? BTW, I've never seen the cover to Action #2. Beautiful cover.
  9. Yeah! It's in rough shape but complete with staples attached but I don't think I could ever afford a nice one. I'll post a scan sometime later.
  10. Bought a lot of about 200 Detective Comics from a Craigslist ad. One major key, a handful of high grade 12 centers, but mostly high grade Copper. Half of them I'll blow out for $1 or $2 at my flea market booth but these three are definate keepers.
  11. Craigslist Ad. About 150 girlie mags from the 50's, most look like they've never been read.
